Problem with one of my Rail station.
In the above 3 images you will see an Crude, Oil, Plastic and Goods Trains. all running and selling goods well, excluding the Plastics and Goods Trains. In the background you see the offending station has connection to the Plastic Factory but for some unknown reason the factory doesn't produce any Plastics. I tried everything but without no success. This is not the first time I encountered this bug, was there from the time it has been available on steam.
The 3 pictures you clearly see that all the tab shows good deliveries of supplies but still not production.
Before anyone ask or point out, the steel mill supplying the Goods factory has been running quite well too. So is not bottleneck or problem on the supply of materials excluding the plastics factory.

can you please read properly what I wrote before commenting for nothing? I ALREADY stated that all the goods are supplied!!!

Stating something and being right are different things.

It is clear from the information you've provided that the plastic is no longer supplying.

Likely due to a breakdown in either the plastic station point.. is oil being transfered? to the chemical plant? what trucks do you have between plastic and goods? You don't need demand for goods to get the line fully working, but you do need to make sure the station is highlighting the factory.

However, given the screenshots, I'd bet you have a train that is too long.. and it cannot get into or out of a station effectively. So it's just going back n forth.. between 2 of the 3 stops.

Also check your signals.. it could be the plastic train cannot get in to collect or maybe the plastic train has wrong setup? Also check the load/unload % in case they've changed, possibly a glitch/bug/accident.

It could also be that you haven't let the line run for long enough.. before jumping to false conclusions and that the line is working fine.

You don't appear to actually want help. There are no pictures of the goods factory proving catchment and nothing proving the train is set to load plastic at the plastic factory.

Like I said you really are blind! One of the train on screen is the Plastic delivery one second if you bothered to look properly in the middle of all 3 pictures is the factory cachement with the station. and of course I set it properly load and unload.... geez

can you dropbox the save game or upload it to the workshop and someone can take a look ?

For the train to be too long that is completely wrong. I have a longer train with 16 tankers delivering crude and the stations are barely 240ms and the last 3 tankers are outside the stations and still it deliver the crude successfully. For the signals and load/unload, I carefully position the them and selected the right goods, for all trains, just the plastics that has no cargo because the factory refuses to produce them! And of course the goods one since without plastics I cannot make goods only with steel.

Yes, you have a line to Moreton-in-Marsh Exchange intended to deliver plastics, but there's no screenshots of Moreton-in-Marsh Exchange's station catchment area, just Cheadle's.

I have resolved the problem. I deleted and replaced in the exact same position, the Factory, Steel and the city cargo stations and it worked! For some reason, in my game, the stations seem to not recognise the link between them. Weird.

I ran into a similar situation. Refined oil delivered to a Chemical Factory. When connected by a road line (horse and wagon) the Chemical Factory will produce plastic. When connected by a rail line it will not. Deleted stations, built new stations, built new track, built new rail lines, still will not produce plastic except for the connection by road. Sure looks like a bug from here.

I too had the same problem. It was working fine at first. Then near delivering station of plastics to Goods factory, I had tram/truck station and when I added passenger station in that, the catchment area of the station was not covered by the Goods factory(which is some distance from station but previously it was in the catchement area). Then I added cargo building to the station so that it has street access to the road which is connected to factory inturn again came in the station catchement area.
